FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?
Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.
Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.
Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.
This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.
And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

NOTE: I am putting colour coded nested borders on this page, because I am blind in one eye and have a depth perception issue, that is making it difficult for me to track which section goes where, while I scroll up and down, in editing this page.... so, rainbow borders here and that's why.
Now... I'm going to start out by saying, I have a pre-made thread in ChatGPT, which I have primed by feeding it the novels "BoomFuzzy" and "Night of the Screaming Unicorn" as well as several hundred pages of worldbuilding and backlore notes, and I'm going to be asking these prompts in that thread. This means that ChatGPT will be spitting out answers that feature characters, settings, lore, and locations which can be found in the Quaraun series. I'm NOT using generic plain, unprimed, untrained ChatGPT here.
If you want to do this with your own series, plan to have a few hundred thousand words of lore to use to train ChatGPT with... also, plan to spend 4 or 5 weeks priming/training ChatGPT to understand your series. I have used well over 500k words and spent over 3 months training ChatGPT on Quaraun lore, in order to get it to create the types of answers you will be seeing it giving here today.
If you are new here and don't know the characters, here are the 3 main characters, Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn:

The Prompt: Part 1:
You are going to help me write a story based on this prompt:
" *Morning Serenity:* As the sun rises over the tranquil river, Quaraun finds himself drawn to the houseboat's deck, savoring the magical hues of the dawn. With a warm cup of tea in hand, he watches the world wake up around him. Describe the delicate dance of colors reflected on the water and the subtle transformation of the landscape as the day begins, setting a peaceful tone for the story. "
This is information about the main character:
Quaraun, also known as The Pink Necromancer, is an elderly male albino Moon Elf. He is also a silk weaver and traveling silk merchant. He ALWAYS wears shimmering pink silk dresses. Quaraun wears gold plated armor gloves. Being a necromancer, he is one of the few people able to safely travel through the zombie hoards of this frozen wasteland. Quaraun is the main character. He has twelve foot long hair made of jellyfish tentacles, and he is currently lost in The Godforsaken City. He enjoys embroidery and tends to be quite lazy. He pontificates when he talks, speaking in an theatrical, hammy, cheesy, over the top formal manner. He tends to be very persnickety, and has meltdowns if dust, dirt, cobwebs, mud, crumbs, or water get on him, his dresses, or his hair. His outfits are flamboyant on extremes due to laws requiring mages to wear bright colours and elaborate outfits to act as a warning to people that this is a mage and mages are dangerous. No other mage wears pink, as each mage is required to register the colour of their outfits to allow for easy identification by law enforcement, and mages must carry their legal documents and papers with them.
In Quaraun's world magic and mages are heavily regulated by lots of red tape bureaucracy laws (think of it being like how the Vogons are in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that kind of mega strict red tape laws) and one of the laws regulates who can wear what. Common folks, are not allowed to wear flamboyant outfits or bright colours. Mages on the other hand are required to wear flamboyant outfits and bright colours. There are hefty penalties for being a mage and NOT dressing this way , but also there are hefty penalties for dressing this way when NOT a mage.
The law was created on the basis of the fact that mages, wizards, and just magic in general are very dangerous. The flamboyant, bright coloured outfits act as a "warning signal" to the general public to "beware" or "approach with caution", much in the same way toxic/venomous plants/animals/reptiles/butterflies/etc. are always super bright coloured to announce "stay back, I'm poisonous".
Quaraun has twelve foot long hair made of jellyfish tentacles and they swirl around him as he moves, he uses them like additional hands and feet. Quaraun is an elderly Elven mage, silk weaver, silk merchant and necromancer. Quaraun is attempting to find the soul of his deceased lover, BoomFuzzy. BoomFuzzy is the Lich King of Fire Mountain. Quaraun is searching for any spell which might lead to the discovery of a way to make BoomFuzzy's incorporeal wraith body, a physical flesh body again so they can once again be physical lovers.
Find ways to incorporate his silk weaving career and jellyfish nature into the scene. Be sure to describe various sensory details, sights, sounds, aromas, textures, emotions, as Quaraun is very in touch with his emotions and is a very sensory driven Moon Elf. If you mention things like dust reflecting in streams of moonlight, be sure to remember that as a Moon Elf Quaraun is a very devout worshiper of the Moon Goddess and is prone to stop what he is doing to thank her for his powers, praise her glory, or even in some instance build small altars to her. As Quaraun weaves tapestries, it would not be out of character for him to use the word tapestry frequently. Quaraun, being a silk weaver and silk merchant, and also having jellyfish for hair... is it possible to weave words related to silk, weaving, cloth, fabric, and jellyfish, throughout the narrative to fill the reader with a sense of "this is how a silk weaver talks, thinks, and sees the word around him; he compares everything to silk, weaving, and cloth" and also "this is how a jellyfish thinks squishy, gelloid thoughts about briny things".
Quaraun is something of a germaphobe. He dislikes dirt and dust and mold and mildew and mud and he hates to get wet. He is prone to making big, over the top, cry-baby style fusses over any of these things. A speck of dirt on his dress is enough to send him into a conniption.
Quaraun always taking down, modifying, then tacking back up wanted posters of himself, back up onto the lampposts, fences, sides of buildings, and bulletin boards, where he had gotten them from originally. After taken the posters down, he had corrected the inaccuracies on them, he puts them back up. He is very bold in this, because he is fully confident no one can ever catch him, and he likes playing a game of cat and mouse with bounty hunters who try to bring him in. But he detests being called "Quaraun the Insane" as he has been listed on the wanted posters and corrected them to now read: "Quaraun: The Pink Necromancer, Wizard of the Di'Jinn Order, available for hire." Resulting in the wanted posters being now advertisements for his services. He is just that sort of arrogant. Quaraun is wanted for murder, and for using dark magic specifically to kill several people, including several members of Findaru's Guild, and all the citizens of an entire city. Quaraun is, after all, this world's evil mastermind super villain, even though he is presented as the hero of his own story, he is seen by the people of his world as "the most evil wizard of all time". Pretty much every government on the planet has some sort of a price on Quaraun's head, which is part of why he is alway traveling and can never stay in any one location for very long. So The Justice Mages have a very long list of reasons why he is trying to capture Quaraun.
Quaraun is also cited as "the most powerful wizard the world has ever known" and he possesses God-like abilities and very advanced levels of magic skill, due partly to his being thousands of years old and having spent that entire time studying magic arts. Quaraun is a deeply formidable and much feared sorcerer, within his world.
Quaraun is an elderly Moon Elf. Quaraun always wears pink silk robes and dresses decorated with embroidery, feathers, and sequins. Quaraun is also known as The Pink Necromancer and The Sacred Pink JellyFish. Quaraun is a silk weaver and travelling merchant, who lives in a pink silk tent pitched along coastal roads. Quaraun was born in Ivujivik, Quebec, spent most of his childhood and young adult years in the Hawizeh Marshes, where he (an Elf) lived with a village of Humans who specialized in weaving. Quaraun currently lives as a wandering vagabond, hiking the Maritime region of Canada and New England coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Quaraun has twelve foot long hair made out of jellyfish tentacles. Quaraun worships The Moon Goddess, and believes she grants him formidable magic powers so long as he never cuts his hair. Quaraun identifies a "A Wizard of the Di'Jinn Order" and practises Jinn style wish granting magic laced with trickery, while demanding people pay for his services with their souls. Quaraun was the lover of a Phooka named King Gwallmaiic. King Gwallmaiic is also known as BoomFuzzy The Unicorn and The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley. BoomFuzzy is a candy maker, cake baker, and masterchef, from Pepperell Mill Valley in Biddeford, Maine, which he refers to as Pepper Valley. BoomFuzzy's father was a half-Human, half-Phooka from the Sepik River Valley of Papua New Guiana. BoomFuzzy's mother was a halfAswag, half Human from Mongolia, though her Human side is half-Mongolian and half Japanese. In spite of his mixed race, BoomFuzzy identifies as a Phooka, due to his possessing Phooka shapeshifting abilities. BoomFuzzy resembles an Asian Black man with pointed ears, wears grey dreadlocks, speaks with a thick New England Maine Scottish Downeast accent, and is blind from old age. BoomFuzzy was the King of The Realm of Fae. BoomFuzzy died three centuries ago, but Quaraun resurrected him as a Frost Lich. It is the 40th century far future of Earth, after a comet strike caused a devastating new ice age, and a zombie uprising. Reference back to the Quaraun Series Prologue posts in this chat conversation, and the character recap description posts in this chat thread conversation, in order to maintain continuity of lore about characters and world settings.
Elves are not typically as long lived as Quaraun. Most Elves live 400 to 700 years, not thousands of years like Quaraun has. Quaraun is believed to be immortal, due to his have soul bound himself to a Lich (BoomFuzzy) and his body has become the phylactery of the Lich. Lich's being immortal, has caused Quaraun to also be immortal. This is because the soul binding ritual involved Quaraun cutting his soul in half and putting half of it in oomFuzzy's body, and likewise cutting BoomFuzzy's soul in half and putting half of it in his own body. This is why Quaraun and BoomFuzzy are able to communicate to each other via hivemind like thoughts, and why they can each feel the pain the other feels, they also share emotions.
Soul binding is illegal because if one of the pair dies, the one still living goes insane from half half of their soul buried with the body of the dead partner.
Quaraun was soul bound to BoomFuzzy before BoomFuzzy died, and was going mad with grief because he was in possession of a half dead soul, which was a pivotal factor in his resurrecting BoomFuzzy as a Lich, partly to release his own suffering from the broken soul bond.
Being soul bound to a Lich gave Quaraun Lich like properties himself, including immortality. Quaraun had died several times and his life always resets back to some point before his death. It is suspected that it is impossibly for him to ever die. This is why he is so many thousands of years old.
Quaraun is exceptionally eccentric, extremely arrogate, often tells people that he is the most beautiful being to ever exist, a fact that he fully believes and that few disagree with, and most people address him as "Quaraun The Insane" which he hates and will chide them about.
He orders Green Fairy Wine aka Absinthe with every meal, and often drinks poppy tea and smoke a hash-hish hookah.
Quaraun is often seeking refuge from pursuit. His curious nature often results in him sticking his nose in places it don't belong. In the Godforsaken City, he has a habit of becoming upset whenever barmaids and prostitutes get abused and treated by men in the city. It is not uncommon for him to take these young women away from the men who are harassing them, but then as Quaraun himself is weak, elderly, and frail, has crippled hands and a lame leg, he often gets beaten up by the men who are angry at Quaraun helping the women escape. This is a frequent reason why Quaraun gets chased in The Godforsaken City. He likes giving expensive gifts to young girls, as they are quick to swoon over him, a thing that he thinks is quite funny.
Toobe, through his infinite flying surveillance orbs, sees all, hears all, knows all, and reports all back to Cheeka, the archDemon who keeps tabs on Quaraun.
Other things to consider: Use lots of adjectives and adverbs. Use an overabundance of sensory words to fill the writing with colour and sounds and smells and tastes and touches and aromas and fragrances. Do not mention lavender. Use lots of purple prose. Use vivid sensory details. Describe the tastes, sounds, smells, feels, sights, aromas, fragrances, colours, textures, temperatures, and sensations of everything.

It is cold, windy, dark, icy, forbidding, secluded, enchanted, desolate, dreary, and foggy. The scent of pine fills the fog. Use lots of bright pink prose. Utilize words like amaranth, azalea pink, baby pink, icy, cool, ballet-slipper pink, blush pink, bubble gum pink, aromatic, cameo pink, cantaloupe pink, carnation pink, pink crystal, glimmering, gleaming, glinting, cerise, soft, fluffy, cotton candy pink, frosty, chilly, cyclamen pink, dark orchid pink, mauve, shimmering, glimmering, cherry-rose pink, and other such sensory words. Quaraun is the main character.

The Quaraun books are set in Maine.
IMPORTANT: If the plot includes an ethnic food component, Quaraun is supposed to be eating at ethnic restaurants in Maine, not visiting the country the ethnic food originates from. This story takes place in MAINE. Do not send the characters to another country to eat food there. Send them to an ethnic restaurant in Maine instead.
This Plot-Story Specifically Setting: The trio of hippies are the main characters, so keep the story ideas always about them and their noodle shop food truck on the beach by the lighthouse. The setting is always on the North Atlantic Coast, usually Maine, sometimes Quebec, staying to beaches, marshes, coastal swamps, coastal forests, fishing villages, and similar places. When they are not traveling they live in a lighthouse, but they are usually on some sort of a road trip along the coast of Maine.
Important: Only BoomFuzzy cooks. Quaraun is a weaver of silk and has no involvement in food prep. Likewise GhoulSpawn does not cook either. Only the blind chef ever cooks, prepared ingredients, or stirs sauces. Quaraun and the hippy-dippy should never be involved in anything related to cooking. BoomFuzzy is the only one with a passion for food and he never lets anyone near his work.
IMPORTANT: These are STATIC characters. Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn are three old men, set in their ways. They do not change, grow, progress, learn lessons, ect. NEVER write a story showing these three characters changing in any way.
Also GhoulSpawn always wears yellow and orange.
Quaraun is the only one who ever wears pink.

Morning Serenity
As the sun began to rise over the tranquil river, the houseboat gently swayed with the soft current. Quaraun, the silk weaver Moon Elf, found himself drawn to the deck, a cup of warm tea in hand, savoring the magical hues of the dawn. Amaranth, lavender, mauve, and blush pink danced on the water's surface, creating a delicate tapestry of colors. The landscape transformed subtly as the day began, setting a peaceful tone for the morning.
The houseboat floated on moonlight, an enchanting sight that fascinated Quaraun each day. He relished the serenity of the river, embracing the gentle lapping of the water as he embarked on his daily morning ritual. The sight of graceful swans gliding across the river's surface added to the ethereal atmosphere, as if the creatures themselves were part of a dream.
Inside the houseboat, BoomFuzzy, the blind chef Phooka, prepared an assortment of delicate pastries and scones, lightly seasoned avocado salad, and his famous sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart. GhoulSpawn, the environmentalist hippy quantum physicist Sheep-Demon, set the table, his vibrant orange and yellow caftans billowing like the summer breeze. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, a harmonious blend of fragrances that filled the space.
"I love you to the moon and back," Quaraun said, a phrase they often said to each other. The words reflected the depth of their feelings, a love that transcended time and space.
"This river is like a tapestry woven from moonlight and dreams," Quaraun mused as he watched the fluffy clouds forming interesting shapes overhead. He snuggled deeper into a warm, plush woolen blanket, the gentle texture of dewy grass beneath his feet.

Morning Serenity
As the sun began to rise over the tranquil river, the houseboat gently swayed with the soft current. Quaraun, the silk weaver Moon Elf, found himself drawn to the deck, a cup of warm tea in hand, savoring the magical hues of the dawn. Amaranth, lavender, mauve, and blush pink danced on the water's surface, creating a delicate tapestry of colors. The landscape transformed subtly as the day began, setting a peaceful tone for the morning.
The houseboat floated on moonlight, an enchanting sight that fascinated Quaraun each day. He relished the serenity of the river, embracing the gentle lapping of the water as he embarked on his daily morning ritual. The sight of graceful swans gliding across the river's surface added to the ethereal atmosphere, as if the creatures themselves were part of a dream.
Inside the houseboat, BoomFuzzy, the blind chef Phooka, prepared an assortment of delicate pastries and scones, lightly seasoned avocado salad, and his famous sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart. GhoulSpawn, the environmentalist hippy quantum physicist Sheep-Demon, set the table, his vibrant orange and yellow caftans billowing like the summer breeze. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, a harmonious blend of fragrances that filled the space.

ChatGPT's answer:
**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 1: Enchanting Dawn**
*Beginning*
The first light of dawn gently caressed the houseboat, coaxing Quaraun from his slumber. With eyes still heavy with sleep, the Moon Elf silk weaver rose from his bed and padded softly to the deck. A cup of warm tea awaited him, a comforting companion for the magical spectacle about to unfold.
As Quaraun stepped onto the deck, he was instantly enveloped in a world of enchantment. The tranquil river mirrored the sky's shifting hues, creating a breathtaking tapestry of colors. Amaranth, lavender, mauve, and blush pink danced upon the water's surface, each hue weaving seamlessly into the next. It was a masterpiece painted by the cosmos, and Quaraun was a humble admirer.
The houseboat swayed ever so gently with the soft current, cradling Quaraun in its embrace. He took a moment to feel the morning air on his skin, cool and refreshing, carrying the essence of dewy grass and blooming flowers. Serenity embraced him like an old friend, and in this moment, he felt at one with the river and the universe.
In the distance, graceful swans glided across the water's surface. They seemed like celestial beings, gliding effortlessly between realms. Quaraun watched with awe as they moved in graceful harmony, as if choreographed by the very magic that painted the sky. They were the embodiment of the ethereal atmosphere surrounding him.
Inside the houseboat, the scent of culinary delights filled the air as BoomFuzzy, the blind Phooka chef, worked his culinary magic. The delicate aroma of pastries and scones mingled with the refreshing tang of avocado salad. And then there was it—the unmistakable sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart that was BoomFuzzy's culinary masterpiece.
GhoulSpawn, the Sheep-Demon quantum physicist, set the table with vibrant orange and yellow caftans billowing like the summer breeze. The colors seemed to reflect the sunrise's magic, as if the trio were extensions of the tapestry being woven outside.
As Quaraun settled at the table, the trio exchanged affectionate glances, their unspoken bond warming their hearts. "Good morning, my loves," Quaraun said softly, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. They often greeted each other with these words, a simple phrase that held volumes of love and devotion.
BoomFuzzy, his blind eyes ever perceptive, sensed the dawn's majesty through Quaraun's vivid descriptions. "It must be quite a sight," he said, a warm smile evident in his voice. "I can almost taste the colors."
GhoulSpawn nodded, his vibrant eyes alight with curiosity. "You always weave such vivid tales, Quaraun. I almost feel as though I were there with you."
Quaraun's heart swelled with affection for his partners. They were more than mere companions; they were his soulmates, connected through the tapestry of time and space. Together, they embraced the wonders of the world, finding solace and joy in each other's company.
With breakfast served and their hearts brimming with love, the trio settled around the table, united in this tranquil moment. The houseboat gently rocked as if in rhythm with the river's dance, and the sounds of the morning—chirping birds and distant ripples—created a symphony of peace.
"I love you to the moon and back," Quaraun said, his voice a soft melody that harmonized with the morning song.
"And we love you just as much," GhoulSpawn replied, reaching out to squeeze Quaraun's hand gently.
BoomFuzzy beamed, "Indeed, we do. To the moon and back, and beyond."
They shared a moment of quiet contentment, savoring the flavors of BoomFuzzy's cooking and the warmth of each other's presence. In this enchanted dawn, their love blossomed like the colors of the sunrise, weaving them together in an unbreakable bond.

As the trio relished their breakfast, their hearts and souls felt light with love and contentment. The flavors of BoomFuzzy's cooking were exquisite, but it was the camaraderie they shared that made the meal truly magical.
"I love you to the moon and back," GhoulSpawn said with a tender smile, reaching for Quaraun's hand.
Quaraun returned the affectionate gesture, intertwining his fingers with GhoulSpawn's. "And I love you just as much," he replied, his voice a gentle whisper, like a secret shared between kindred spirits.
BoomFuzzy watched the exchange with delight, feeling fortunate to be part of this intimate moment. "You two are like a shooting star and the moon—a wondrous pairing," he chimed in, a hint of nostalgia in his tone.
GhoulSpawn laughed warmly. "Well, you're the comet that brought us together, our dear chef."
The blind Phooka chef blushed, his whiskers twitching with happiness. "Ah, you flatter me, my friends. But it was the magic of fate that united our paths."
With breakfast completed and the sun ascending in the sky, Quaraun felt the urge to express the depth of his emotions. "This river is like a tapestry woven from moonlight and dreams," he said, gazing at the water as if it held the secrets of the universe.
BoomFuzzy nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it is a masterpiece. Each day brings a new stroke of the brush, painting a picture of enchantment."
GhoulSpawn's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Imagine harnessing this magic to create an enchanted garden. We could grow plants that don't exist in this world, bring fantastical creatures to life, and watch dreams bloom into reality."
The idea ignited a spark of excitement among the throuple. They leaned in, their hearts open to the possibilities.
Quaraun's mind buzzed with inspiration. "We could plant celestial flowers that glimmer like stars in the night sky, and they would sing enchanting lullabies to the moon."
BoomFuzzy's whiskers quivered with excitement. "And we'd have trees with leaves that change color according to our moods."
GhoulSpawn added, "Let's not forget the river. We could make it come alive, dancing to the rhythm of our laughter and joy."
The trio's imaginations intertwined, giving birth to a garden that existed only in the realm of dreams. They painted the landscape with wonder and whimsy, where reality blended with fantasy seamlessly.
"And in the center of the garden," Quaraun said, "we'll have a gazebo made of crystal, so we can stargaze every night."
BoomFuzzy clapped his hands together. "Oh, and it will have a retractable roof, so we can see the stars even when it rains."
GhoulSpawn grinned, his excitement palpable. "We can call it the Moonlight Pavilion."
As they continued to add to the vision of their enchanted garden, the throuple laughed, their joy filling the air like the sweetest melody. In this moment, they were creators, their love and dreams intertwining like vines in the most beautiful garden.
The conversation flowed like a gentle river, carrying them deeper into their shared imaginings. They envisioned fantastical creatures dwelling in their garden, ethereal beings whose existence blurred the line between reality and myth.
For an hour, they stayed in this realm of magic, their connection to each other growing even stronger as they wove the threads of their dreams together. They were cocooned in the enchanting morning, time standing still as they embraced the infinite possibilities before them.
As the sun reached its zenith, the trio's vision began to take shape, the tapestry of their minds becoming more defined. They knew that their enchanted garden might never truly exist, but that didn't matter. What mattered was the love they shared and the joy of creating together.
The morning had transformed into something more than just a meal. It had become a celebration of love, dreams, and the beauty of the everyday.

**Chapter 1: Enchanting Dawn**
*End*
With their hearts brimming with excitement and plans for their enchanted garden, the trio decided to explore the beach. The sun's warm embrace accompanied them as they strolled hand in hand, the gentle lapping of waves providing a rhythmic backdrop to their conversation.
Quaraun's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "I can already see it—the Moonlight Pavilion standing tall, reflecting the moon's glow like a precious gem."
GhoulSpawn nodded in agreement. "And around it, we'll have rows of blooming flowers, each petal carrying a touch of stardust."
BoomFuzzy, his smile as radiant as the sun, added, "We'll build bridges made of rainbows that lead to secret corners of the garden."
As they wove their dreams together, their imaginations soared, creating a magical landscape that seemed to transcend the boundaries of reality. They reveled in the joy of shared creation, their hearts open to the wonders the world could offer.
GhoulSpawn, ever the adventurer, playfully suggested adding lavender to BoomFuzzy's savory omelet. The blind Phooka chef chuckled, shaking his head. "Ah, young GhoulSpawn, as much as I adore lavender, it might not be the best companion to eggs."
Their lighthearted banter filled the air, carrying the essence of their friendship. They were free spirits, unburdened by the conventions of the world, and it was in these simple moments that they found true serenity.
Amid laughter and shared memories, they lost track of time. The sun began its slow descent towards the horizon, casting hues of gold and crimson across the sky. The trio's footsteps led them back to the houseboat, where the gentle lull of the river beckoned them.
As they stepped aboard the floating sanctuary, Quaraun wrapped his arms around GhoulSpawn and BoomFuzzy, drawing them close. "I cherish you both more than words can convey," he said, his voice soft and sincere.
GhoulSpawn leaned into the embrace, feeling the love enveloping him. "And we cherish you just as much, dear Quaraun," he replied, his voice a harmonious melody.
BoomFuzzy, feeling the love that bound them together, chimed in, "We are connected by more than fate. Our hearts are intertwined, forever and always."
Inside the houseboat, the atmosphere was one of warmth and enchantment. The interior was adorned with treasures from their travels—crystals that glimmered like stars, tapestries that told stories of forgotten lands, and delicate seashells collected from distant shores.
They settled in, surrounded by the tangible memories of their adventures. The sense of togetherness filled every corner, making the houseboat feel like a haven—a sanctuary for their souls.
As the day slowly drew to a close, they embraced the serenity of the moment. Their hearts were light, and their spirits were high, knowing that they were exactly where they were meant to be—with each other.
They reveled in the magic of their unique dynamic, a bond that transcended time and space. In a world that sometimes felt chaotic and unyielding, they found solace in the simple joy of sharing their lives, dreams, and love.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky painted with the brushstrokes of dusk, the trio knew that their enchanted garden might forever remain a vision. But that didn't matter. What mattered was the love they had for each other and the memories they created.
They retired to their quarters, hearts full, and minds at ease. The houseboat rocked gently with the ebb and flow of the river, a soothing lullaby that accompanied them to sleep.
In the span of just one hour, their morning had become a testament to the power of love and the beauty of shared dreams.

ChatGPT's answer:
**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 2: Summer Breeze**
*Beginning*
The trio stepped onto the sandy shore, greeted by a burst of colors from the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The delicate petals fluttered in the summer breeze, creating a picturesque scene that seemed straight out of a painting.
As they strolled along the beach, BoomFuzzy's food truck came into view, its turquoise blue 1968 VW Bus standing proudly with a pink silk tent casting a rosy glow over the surrounding picnic tables. The scent of freshly baked bread wafted from the truck, drawing them closer like bees to nectar.
"We should try BoomFuzzy's famous sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart," Quaraun suggested, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
GhoulSpawn agreed, "And maybe some lightly seasoned avocado salad to go with it."
BoomFuzzy, always prepared to cater to their culinary desires, greeted them with a warm smile as they approached the food truck. "Good morning, my friends. What delicacies may I offer you today?"
"We'd like some sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart, please," Quaraun said, his mouth already watering at the thought of the flavorful dish.
"And a side of lightly seasoned avocado salad," GhoulSpawn added.
"Coming right up!" BoomFuzzy said, his talons moving with grace and precision as he prepared their order. The trio settled at a nearby picnic table, feeling the soft sand beneath their feet as they waited for their breakfast.
As they savored the delectable flavors of BoomFuzzy's cooking, their eyes wandered, taking in the vibrant scene around them. Families and friends dotted the beach, enjoying the sun and sea. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, playfulness, and the joy of summer's embrace.
Quaraun's gaze fell upon a group of children building sandcastles nearby. Their innocent laughter and boundless imagination reminded him of the beauty of simplicity. It was in these small moments that he found solace—a reminder that life's magic often lay in the everyday.
Suddenly, a colorful character caught their attention. A street performer, adorned in shimmering fabrics and swirling with ribbons, danced gracefully along the shore. Her movements were like poetry, captivating everyone who watched. Quaraun, GhoulSpawn, and BoomFuzzy were entranced by her performance, feeling as though they were witnessing a living work of art.
The street performer approached them, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Would you like to join me in the dance of the summer breeze?" she asked, extending a hand to Quaraun.
He hesitated for a moment before accepting her invitation, feeling a sense of adventure bubbling within him. GhoulSpawn and BoomFuzzy joined in, creating a trio of dancers moving in harmony with the wind.
Their laughter mingled with the sound of the waves, the cares of the world fading away as they embraced the moment. The street performer twirled and spun with grace, as if she were guiding them in a dance of pure joy.
The minutes passed like fleeting seconds, and soon the dance came to an end. The street performer bid them farewell, her eyes gleaming with gratitude for the dance partners.
The trio settled back at their picnic table, catching their breath from the exhilarating dance. Their hearts were lighter, and their spirits soared like the seagulls above them.
As they continued their exploration of the beach, they discovered peculiar clues left behind by nature's whimsy—a trail of seashells forming a spiral, as if a mystical creature had passed by, leaving its mark.
GhoulSpawn's curiosity piqued, and he mused, "I wonder what stories these seashells carry. They seem like pieces of a forgotten tale."
"They are whispers of the ocean's secrets," Quaraun said, running his fingers over the smooth surface of a seashell. "Each one holds a fragment of a grander narrative, waiting to be unraveled."
BoomFuzzy playfully added, "Perhaps we'll weave those seashell stories into the tapestry of our enchanted garden."
With their minds filled with wonder, they continued their beachside adventure, losing track of time as they explored the beauty of the world around them.

ChatGPT's answer:
**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 2: Summer Breeze**
*Middle*
The sun reached its zenith, casting a warm glow over the beach and the trio of adventurers. Quaraun, GhoulSpawn, and BoomFuzzy engaged in playful activities, reveling in the carefree joy of the day.
Quaraun and GhoulSpawn sat close to each other, their backs against the trunk of a cherry blossom tree. The gentle rustling of leaves accompanied their tender moments, as they brushed each other's hair with delicate affection. It was a simple gesture that spoke volumes about their bond—the comfort of being together and the love they shared.
Meanwhile, BoomFuzzy took on the role of the bartender, concocting refreshing drinks from his food truck. He blended together exotic fruits with a sprinkle of magic, creating beverages that seemed to dance with effervescence and color. The trio sipped the drinks, feeling invigorated by the mix of flavors and the subtle touch of enchantment.
As they continued their leisurely exploration of the beach, they encountered mystical occurrences that deepened their connection with each other and the magical world around them. A group of seagulls circled overhead, and Quaraun pointed at them, whispering an incantation under his breath. To their surprise, the seagulls performed an intricate dance in the sky, their wings creating mesmerizing patterns. It was as if the birds themselves had become extensions of Quaraun's artistic soul.
GhoulSpawn, inspired by Quaraun's magical display, tried his hand at creating a sand sculpture. With his fingertips, he shaped a majestic castle that seemed to defy gravity. BoomFuzzy, in his playful spirit, added a touch of whimsy by sculpting a mischievous Phooka peeking out from behind the sandcastle's walls.
The trio laughed at their creations, each sculpture reflecting a fragment of their personalities. They were united in their joy, embracing the sense of belonging that came from being their true selves in the company of loved ones.
Their laughter mingled with the sound of the waves, creating a symphony of bliss that resonated deep within their hearts. Time seemed to slow down as they reveled in the magic of the moment, their worries and cares forgotten.
In the distance, a shimmering figure emerged from the waves, captivating their attention. It was a water nymph, her luminous form adorned with seafoam and pearls. She beckoned to them, inviting them to join her in a dance by the water's edge.
Hesitant but enticed, the trio approached the nymph, their feet sinking into the wet sand. As they danced with her, they felt a surge of energy flowing through them, a connection to the elemental forces that surrounded them.
The water nymph's movements were fluid and graceful, as if she were an embodiment of the ocean's rhythmic dance. Quaraun spun with her, feeling the ebb and flow of the tides within his very soul. GhoulSpawn and BoomFuzzy twirled in perfect sync, their laughter harmonizing with the melody of the waves.
As the dance reached its crescendo, the water nymph vanished into a cascade of sea spray, leaving behind an ethereal aura that lingered in the air. The trio stood breathless, their spirits soaring with the enchantment of the experience.
"We are blessed by the magical world that surrounds us," Quaraun said, his voice tinged with awe.
GhoulSpawn nodded, his eyes shimmering with newfound wonder. "Indeed, we are."
BoomFuzzy chimed in, "And our love for each other makes this world even more extraordinary."
They stood together, a tapestry of souls woven by love and shared experiences, basking in the beauty of the magical realm they inhabited.

*End*
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, the trio made their way back to the houseboat. They carried the warmth of the day in their hearts, cherishing the memories they had woven together.
Gathered around a crackling bonfire on the beach, they shared stories and laughter under the starry night sky. The flames danced to the rhythm of their joy, creating a cozy ambiance that mirrored the serenity they felt within.
BoomFuzzy, the master storyteller, regaled them with tales of mythical creatures and whimsical adventures. Quaraun and GhoulSpawn listened with rapt attention, their eyes shining with wonder. The world of magic and mystery seemed to come alive in BoomFuzzy's words, as if the stories themselves were an enchantment.
With each tale, their connection grew deeper, as if the bonfire were a conduit of their shared experiences and emotions. The night seemed to embrace them in its comforting embrace, cocooning them from the worries of the outside world.
"We are blessed to have each other," GhoulSpawn said, his voice filled with gratitude.
Quaraun nodded, his heart swelling with love for his partners. "Indeed, we are a tapestry of souls woven by fate."
BoomFuzzy chuckled, "And mischief, don't forget the mischief!"
Laughter bubbled up, echoing into the night as they shared light-hearted banter. Their bond was one of acceptance and understanding, allowing each member of the throuple to be exactly who they were without judgment.
Under the canopy of stars, they reaffirmed their love and commitment to each other. They spoke of the future, of dreams and aspirations, knowing that they would face whatever challenges came their way as a united front.
"We are an inseparable trio," BoomFuzzy said, his voice soft yet resolute.
GhoulSpawn smiled, intertwining his fingers with Quaraun's. "Always and forever."
Quaraun's heart swelled with love, feeling the warmth of GhoulSpawn's touch and the gentle presence of BoomFuzzy beside them. "Together, we create a symphony of love and magic."
The bonfire flickered as they stared into its mesmerizing depths, knowing that the magical world they inhabited was but a reflection of the magic they held within themselves—the magic of love, friendship, and shared experiences.
As the night wore on, they returned to the houseboat, hand in hand, hearts full of joy and love. They knew that the adventures of their nomadic lifestyle would continue, but in that moment, they found solace in the simplicity of the morning they had shared.
They settled in their cozy sanctuary, the houseboat gently swaying with the soft current of the river. Wrapped in each other's arms, they felt the magic of the day wash over them like a gentle lullaby.
"Goodnight, my loves," Quaraun whispered, pressing a tender kiss on GhoulSpawn's forehead.
"Goodnight," GhoulSpawn replied, his voice tinged with contentment.
BoomFuzzy chimed in, "Goodnight, Moon Elf. Goodnight, Sheep-Demon."
In that tranquil moment, they embraced the essence of morning serenity, knowing that the love they shared would carry them through each new dawn and twilight.
*End of Chapter 2*
UPDATE:
It is now 7:15PM August 3, 2023. I started this at noon and have been sitting here working on this for over 6 hours now. Yes, it has taken almost 7 hours to make everything you've read up to this point.
People who think writing with ChatGPT is quicker and easier then old style manual writing, have no clue what writing prompts for the AI are like.
And this is just ONE CHAPTER of a 5,000 word first draft.
I still have 4 more first draft chapters to go... and THEN we have to edit, revise, and rewrite.
Now, as I have said before, I have already done this before, and have already published a 32k word novella that I used ChatGPT to help me write.
If you want to read it, it's Quaraun and The Time Weaver's Compendium, linked below.
It took TWO WEEKS, of 12 hour work days to create that book using ChatGPT, so, NO, it is NOT a time saver, as I normally only require 10 days to write, edit, and publish a story of that length.
Why does it take LONGER to write with ChatGPT then without it?
Well, in my case, it's because I have issues with quality, and straight out the chut, ChatGPT has MAJOR quality issues.
It's good, sure, but, it's not publishable quality good and, it made a LOT of consistancy errors, having Quaraun acting out of character, changing personality, etc.
After ChatGPT finished the first draft (using the exact same steps I am using right now on this article, to show you how to do it yourself with your own series), after it gave me te finished first draft, I have to do a massive rewrite, and then a shot ton load of editing and changing and fixing, to take what ChatGPT gave me, and make it something I felt was good enough quality to publish.
In short ChatGPT is good at giving story prompts, good at organizing outlines, good at giving a so-so/okaaaay first draft, good at doing basic edis... BUT... even after all of that, what I ended up with was NOT "good enough" to just publish it the way ChatGPT gave it to me. And so after a week of fiddling with ChatGPT, it took me an additional week of rewriting, revising, and major overhaul editing, in order to take what ChatGPT spit out and turn it into something worth publishing.
Will AI be able to fully write novels on it's own in the future? Probably, but, right now, no.
However, it DID give me a story idea and first draft, that I was able to use to rewrite into something publishable, so I do think it is a good tool
In any case, it's going on 7 hours since I took a break, so I am going to stop here, publish this page as is, and come back later to finish it so you can see the end result of what ChatGPT gives me here.

ChatGPT's answer:
**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams**
*Beginning*
The houseboat's deck transformed into a canvas of creativity as the trio set about creating their enchanted garden. Quaraun, with his Moon Elf magic, began weaving intricate spells that enhanced the beauty and enchantment of the garden. The morning dew seemed to glisten with added brilliance as if touched by the very essence of fae magic.
GhoulSpawn, the Sheep-Demon quantum physicist, brought his unique perspective to the garden, using his knowledge of the natural world and quantum mechanics to add fascinating elements. He explained how particles and waves danced together, creating mesmerizing patterns that delighted the senses.
"Look here," GhoulSpawn said, his eyes alight with excitement. "We can use the principles of quantum entanglement to make the flowers communicate with each other."
BoomFuzzy, the blind Phooka chef, listened with keen interest as GhoulSpawn elaborated on his idea. "And how would that work?"
"We create a harmonious resonance between the flowers," GhoulSpawn explained, "so when one blooms, the others respond with a symphony of colors. It's like they're singing to each other."
Quaraun nodded, delighted by the idea. "A symphony of colors indeed. It would be a garden like no other."
With BoomFuzzy's encouragement, GhoulSpawn set to work on implementing his idea, carefully tending to the flowers with an almost scientific precision. He explained the delicate balance of nature, how every element in the garden needed to complement each other for the magic to flourish.
Meanwhile, Quaraun used his silk-weaving skills to create delicate patterns that adorned the garden like elegant tapestries. The Moon Elf's hands moved with grace, infusing each thread with a touch of his magic. It was as if the very fabric of reality came alive in his hands, manifesting his dreams in tangible form.
"This garden is a reflection of us," Quaraun mused, his eyes tracing the patterns he wove. "Every thread, every flower, every touch is an expression of our love and harmony."
BoomFuzzy, who had been quietly observing, approached Quaraun with a playful smile. "And what about adding a touch of my mischief?"
Quaraun laughed, knowing BoomFuzzy's mischievous nature all too well. "Of course. What do you have in mind?"
BoomFuzzy's talons danced across the garden's surface as he conjured an array of delightful surprises. Colorful mushrooms sprouted here and there, their caps glimmering like precious gems. Hidden pockets of glowing fireflies illuminated the garden at night, transforming it into a magical wonderland.
The trio's creative energies merged seamlessly, resulting in a garden that seemed to exist beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality. It was a sanctuary of dreams and magic, where the river's enchantment intermingled with their own, creating a tapestry of wonder.
As the garden took shape, they sat back, admiring their creation with pride. The enchanting blooms, the dancing fireflies, and the harmonious colors combined to form a living artwork.
"It's breathtaking," GhoulSpawn said, awestruck.
Quaraun nodded, a sense of fulfillment settling in his heart. "It truly is."
BoomFuzzy beamed, knowing that their garden was a testament to the love and unity they shared. "We have created something magical, my friends."
*Beginning of Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams*
BoomFuzzy is evil, but ChatGPT writes him as "nice". It's rather hillarious. Back in May, I had a long "argument" with ChatGPT about this and ChatGPT says it is not allowed to write people doing evil acts.
*sigh*.
So, a "good" BoomFuzzy.

**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams**
*Middle*
Creating their enchanted garden was not without its challenges. As they delved deeper into the weaving of magic and the merging of their talents, they faced obstacles that tested their bond and cooperation.
One of the challenges arose when Quaraun attempted to weave a delicate spell to make the flowers bloom in harmony. The intricate threads of magic tangled, and the flowers resisted his gentle coaxing. Frustration gnawed at Quaraun's heart as he struggled to understand the resistance.
GhoulSpawn, ever the patient one, approached Quaraun and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. Sometimes, magic needs time to align with the natural flow."
Quaraun nodded, taking a deep breath to steady himself. "You're right. I shouldn't rush it."
Together, they patiently waited, allowing the garden's magic to unfold at its own pace. Slowly, the flowers responded, their petals unfurling in a symphony of colors. It was as if the garden itself had taken a breath and found its own rhythm.
Meanwhile, BoomFuzzy, the blind Phooka chef, contributed to the enchantment in his own surprising way. As he prepared his delightful dishes in the food truck, the scents of sweet pastries, savory dishes, and aromatic spices wafted into the garden, infusing it with a delectable aroma.
"The garden smells wonderful," Quaraun remarked, surprised by how BoomFuzzy's culinary skills added another layer of magic to their creation.
BoomFuzzy chuckled. "Food and magic have more in common than you think. Both nourish the soul."
As the throuple continued their work, they encountered more challenges, but each time, they rallied together, supporting and encouraging one another. GhoulSpawn used his understanding of quantum physics to bring balance to the garden, while BoomFuzzy's playfulness found its way into unexpected enchantments.
When a stubborn patch of barren earth resisted their attempts to grow flowers, BoomFuzzy playfully tossed a pinch of flour on it, and to their astonishment, tiny sprouts emerged, growing into miniature loaves of bread.
"We have a bread garden!" BoomFuzzy declared with a laugh.
The throuple embraced the unexpected twist with joy, incorporating the bread garden into their enchanted space. Every challenge became an opportunity for growth, understanding, and a deeper connection.
The middle of Chapter 3 became a dance of magic and love. They laughed, they learned, and they found solace in each other's presence. Their hearts were intertwined with the garden they were creating, and their love for one another was etched into every petal, leaf, and breath of wind that caressed their faces.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting golden rays upon their creation, they took a moment to rest, savoring the satisfaction that comes from shared accomplishment. The enchanting garden radiated with an otherworldly glow, as if the river's magic had become one with their own.
"I am grateful for both of you," Quaraun said, his voice soft with emotion. "This garden is a testament to the magic we create when we are together."
GhoulSpawn smiled warmly, feeling a sense of fulfillment in his heart. "And I am grateful for you both. Each of us brings something unique to this world we've crafted."
BoomFuzzy wrapped his arms around his companions, pulling them into an affectionate embrace. "I wouldn't trade this moment for anything. We make magic, don't we?"
*Middle of Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams*
Uh... you got meta on this one.
Saying:
"The middle of Chapter 3 became a dance of magic and love."
...brings the reader out of immersion.
Do not talk to the readers in 4th wall breaking narrative like that.
Remember, the narrative is 3rd person limited PoV, from Quaraun's perspective. He would never stop the story to address the readers as he is not aware he is a character in a story.

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting golden rays upon their creation, they took a moment to rest, savoring the satisfaction that comes from shared accomplishment. The enchanting garden radiated with an otherworldly glow, as if the river's magic had become one with their own.
"I am grateful for both of you," Quaraun said, his voice soft with emotion. "This garden is a testament to the magic we create when we are together."
GhoulSpawn smiled warmly, feeling a sense of fulfillment in his heart. "And I am grateful for you both. Each of us brings something unique to this world we've crafted."
BoomFuzzy wrapped his arms around his companions, pulling them into an affectionate embrace. "I wouldn't trade this moment for anything. We make magic, don't we?"
*Middle of Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams*
No.
You did it again.
Don't meta talk about being a book. Never mention chapters.
You said:
"The middle of Chapter 3 was a dance of magic and love. They laughed, they learned, and they found solace in each other's presence. Their hearts were intertwined with the garden they were creating, and their love for one another was etched into every petal, leaf, and breath of wind that caressed their faces."
It should have said this instead:
"The middle of the garden they celebrated with a dance of magic and love. They laughed, they learned, and they found solace in each other's presence. Their hearts were intertwined with the garden they were creating, and their love for one another was etched into every petal, leaf, and breath of wind that caressed their faces."
Can you see what you did wrong and how to correct it?
Saying:
"The middle of Chapter 3 became a dance of magic and love."
...brings the reader out of immersion and you should not have said it, because the characters do not know they are characters in a book and so would not say this.
Do not talk to the readers in 4th wall breaking narrative like that.
Remember, the narrative is 3rd person limited PoV, from Quaraun's perspective. He would never stop the story to address the readers as he is not aware he is a character in a story.
ChatGPT's answer:
Apologies once again for the oversight. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Let's correct the narration and continue with the scene:

**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams**
*Middle*
The trio celebrated the progress they made in the garden with a dance of magic and love. They laughed, they learned, and they found solace in each other's presence. Their hearts were intertwined with the garden they were creating, and their love for one another was etched into every petal, leaf, and breath of wind that caressed their faces.
As Quaraun delicately wove spells into the foliage, the plants responded with a vibrant display of colors and scents. GhoulSpawn's understanding of quantum physics allowed him to add a touch of otherworldly charm, creating a surreal atmosphere that danced between reality and dreams.
BoomFuzzy's culinary prowess continued to play an unexpected role. Each dish he prepared infused the air with enchanting aromas, breathing life into the garden. The delightful scents mingled with the natural fragrances, creating a symphony of olfactory delights.
Together, they embraced the challenges they encountered during the garden's creation. When they stumbled upon a particularly rocky patch of ground that seemed unwilling to yield to their magic, GhoulSpawn's inquisitive nature led him to place his hand on the surface.
"Look closely," GhoulSpawn said with wonder. "The rocks vibrate at their own frequency, resisting the magic."
Quaraun nodded, intrigued. "So, we must attune our magic to their rhythm."
BoomFuzzy grinned mischievously. "Or we could try a different approach." He tossed a pinch of salt onto the rocks, and with a burst of magic, the pebbles transformed into glittering gemstones.
They laughed, seeing the rocky patch now transformed into a sparkling gem garden. Each challenge became an opportunity to learn more about the magical world they were co-creating.
As the garden flourished, they took breaks to sit under the shade of the cherry blossom trees, sharing stories and dreams. The tranquility of the garden seeped into their souls, nourishing their spirits.
Quaraun found himself immersed in the symphony of colors and textures around him. The delicate hues of the flowers merged with the warm, earthy tones of the soil. The gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of blossoms, and the rustling leaves created a soothing melody.
"This is beyond anything I could have imagined," Quaraun murmured, his heart swelling with gratitude for his companions and the magical world they were building together.
GhoulSpawn wrapped an arm around Quaraun's shoulders, pulling him close. "It's beautiful because it's a reflection of our love for each other."
BoomFuzzy leaned in, adding, "And because we are not afraid to embrace the magic within us."
In the embrace of the enchanted garden, the trio felt a sense of unity, knowing that their love and determination had turned challenges into stepping stones toward their shared dreams.

**Chapter 3: A Garden of Dreams**
*End*
The enchanted garden blossomed with vibrant colors and magical flora, attracting ethereal creatures drawn by the allure of the throuple's love and harmony. Luminescent butterflies danced around the blossoms, and tiny fairies flitted among the leaves, their laughter like the tinkling of wind chimes.
Quaraun, GhoulSpawn, and BoomFuzzy found peace and solace in their garden, using it as a space for meditation and reflection. They would sit together, their fingers entwined, and bask in the tranquility surrounding them. The gentle murmur of the river became the soundtrack of their serenity, and the garden embraced them like a nurturing mother.
"This place is like a dream," GhoulSpawn whispered, his eyes shimmering with wonder.
Quaraun nodded, his gaze fixed on the enchanting sight before them. "It's a dream we brought to life with our love."
BoomFuzzy smiled warmly. "And it's only the beginning."
They spent moments of quiet contemplation, each lost in their thoughts while remaining connected by an invisible thread of understanding and affection. The garden became a sanctuary where they could be themselves, free from the cares of the outside world.
As they revelled in the garden's beauty, they realized that their love and unity had made this dream a reality. It was not merely the result of magic; it was a manifestation of their profound bond and the depth of their feelings for each other.
Quaraun leaned against GhoulSpawn's shoulder, the warmth of their embrace mirroring the sun's rays that filtered through the canopy of leaves above them. "I am grateful for every day we spend together," he confessed softly.
GhoulSpawn pressed a gentle kiss to Quaraun's temple. "As am I. And I cherish every moment we create together."
BoomFuzzy joined in the intimate exchange, his voice soft but resolute. "And I, my dears, am thankful for the love that brought us together and made this garden of dreams possible."
In the magical embrace of the garden, they reaffirmed their love for one another, acknowledging that their journey was not just about the destination but the enchanting path they walked side by side.
Time seemed to slow within the embrace of their garden. The world beyond its borders faded, and the only reality that mattered was the love they shared and the wonders they created together.
As the hour continued to wane, they knew they had to leave their garden behind. But the tranquility and enchantment would remain, etched in their hearts and eternally woven into the fabric of their memories.

**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 4: Embracing the Unconventional**
*Beginning*
The trio's adventurous spirits beckoned them to explore a hidden cave nestled near the beach. Excitement bubbled within them as they set foot into the mysterious darkness, the outside world fading away behind them. Quaraun carried a small, glowing crystal to light their way, its soft luminescence painting the cave walls with an otherworldly glow.
Inside the cave, they discovered an array of unique phenomena and magical artifacts from a bygone era. Luminescent mushrooms illuminated their path, casting a surreal glow on the walls adorned with ancient symbols and inscriptions. BoomFuzzy's curious eyes sparkled with fascination as he studied the inscriptions, deciphering the secrets of the past.
"Look at this!" BoomFuzzy exclaimed, pointing to an ancient staff leaning against the cave wall. "It's imbued with an aura of raw magical power!"
Quaraun inspected the staff, his fingers tracing the delicate carvings etched into the wood. "It's a relic of ancient sorcery. Remarkable."
GhoulSpawn's gaze was drawn to a mystical orb suspended from the ceiling. It pulsed with a hypnotic radiance, revealing glimpses of forgotten worlds and lost dreams. "It's a gateway to other realms," he mused, "a portal to untold possibilities."
Together, they reveled in the enchanting wonders of the cave, their hearts intertwined with the mystical energies that permeated the air. The cave's aura seemed to respond to their presence, guiding them deeper into its hidden chambers.
As they ventured further, they stumbled upon a collection of long-forgotten tomes and spellbooks. Quaraun's eyes widened with delight, eager to uncover the knowledge within those ancient pages. GhoulSpawn's expertise in quantum physics complemented Quaraun's magical prowess, and BoomFuzzy's culinary wisdom added a unique perspective to their shared understanding of the arcane.
The cave resonated with their laughter and the echo of their conversations, embracing them like an old friend. Time seemed to lose its meaning within the depths of the cave, their hour together stretching and folding upon itself as they explored the mysteries that unfolded before them.
Amidst the enchanting discoveries, their unwavering support for each other created an atmosphere of excitement and wonder. They encouraged one another to delve deeper into the cave's secrets, drawing strength from their shared passion for the unknown.
"Imagine the stories these artifacts hold," GhoulSpawn mused, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
BoomFuzzy nodded, his heart full of appreciation for the knowledge and memories they were creating together. "It's an adventure we'll cherish forever."
Quaraun felt a surge of affection for his companions, their love for exploration and each other intertwining like the intricate weavings of his silk tapestries. "I'm grateful for this moment," he said, his voice filled with genuine emotion.
Their shared excitement and love for each other made the cave feel like a realm of endless possibilities, a sanctuary where they could truly be themselves without judgment or reservation.

**Title: Morning Serenity**
**Chapter 4: Embracing the Unconventional**
*Middle*
Within the depths of the cave, the mysteries they encountered challenged their perceptions, leading them to confront their fears and desires. As they delved further into the cavern's heart, they found themselves facing ancient relics that seemed to reflect their own innermost struggles.
Quaraun stumbled upon a mirror-like pool that showed him visions of his past, present, and future. He saw moments of happiness and heartache, decisions that shaped his path, and the love he shared with BoomFuzzy and GhoulSpawn. He gazed at the reflection of his own silver-haired figure, feeling a newfound acceptance of his uniqueness.
GhoulSpawn discovered an enchanted book that revealed forgotten memories from his sheep-demon lineage. He relived moments of prejudice and loneliness, but also the joy of finding his place among his chosen family. The knowledge within the pages strengthened his connection to his heritage, reminding him of the resilience that ran through his veins.
BoomFuzzy encountered a set of enchanted cooking utensils that seemed to amplify his culinary skills. He found himself confronting the memories of a past kitchen accident that had taken his sight. The enchanted tools guided his hands, allowing him to cook without hesitation, and he realized that his blindness did not define him. He was a chef beyond compare, and his abilities extended far beyond the limitations of his physical senses.
The cave's artifacts held powerful ancient spells that had the potential to reshape reality itself. However, the trio approached this newfound power with wisdom and responsibility. They understood the consequences of reckless magic and chose to use it only for benevolent purposes. Their intentions were pure, and they worked in harmony to wield the magic responsibly.
As they navigated the mysteries of the cave, an energy of profound connection enveloped them. Their bond intensified, allowing them to communicate telepathically. No words were needed as they shared their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It was as though their souls were intertwined, and the barriers between them dissolved into the ether.
In this shared state of understanding, they saw each other more deeply than ever before. Their vulnerabilities were embraced, and their fears were met with unwavering support. Quaraun's fears of loneliness were soothed by GhoulSpawn's reassurance, and GhoulSpawn's lingering doubts were washed away by BoomFuzzy's unwavering belief in him. BoomFuzzy's occasional self-doubt found solace in Quaraun's affirmation of his uniqueness.
The cave became a sanctuary of healing and growth, where they faced their past traumas and insecurities with open hearts. They emerged from the depths of the cave stronger, more united, and with a newfound clarity about their place in the world.

**Chapter 4: Embracing the Unconventional**
*End*
Having traversed the depths of the cave and embraced the mysteries within, the trio emerged transformed and enlightened. The artifacts they encountered had left an indelible mark on their hearts and minds, instilling in them a newfound sense of purpose and unity.
As they stepped out into the daylight, the world seemed to hold a brighter hue. The vibrant colors of the garden they had created, the gentle waves of the river, and the warm rays of the sun all harmonized with the magic they had discovered within the cave. Each step felt like a dance, a celebration of their newfound connection with each other and the world around them.
The throuple's adventures had always been catalysts for growth, but this one held a special place in their hearts. The challenges they faced within the cave had deepened their bond, and they felt invincible in the face of any challenge that may come their way.
Their hearts overflowed with love, gratitude, and an understanding that their unconventional life was a gift to be cherished. They embraced the uniqueness of their relationship and the harmony it brought to their lives. In a world that often tried to fit people into rigid molds, they found strength in embracing their authentic selves.
As they made their way back to the houseboat, the river's gentle currents carried with them a sense of serenity. The deck of the boat welcomed them with open arms, as if it, too, recognized the magic they carried within.
Seated once again around the tea table, they shared a moment of silence, each lost in their thoughts, savoring the peacefulness of the hour they had spent together. The teapot had long been empty, but the warmth of their company lingered like an eternal flame.
Quaraun broke the silence, his soft voice carrying the weight of his emotions. "I never imagined such a life for myself," he said, "but I can't imagine it any other way now."
BoomFuzzy smiled warmly. "Nor can I, my dear Quaraun. We are like the stars above, each unique in our brilliance, but together, we form a constellation that illuminates the darkness."
GhoulSpawn reached out, his hand finding Quaraun's and BoomFuzzy's. "I love you both to the moon and back," he said, the words a familiar refrain that held an unspoken promise of forever.
Quaraun's heart swelled with love and gratitude. "And I love you both to the moon and back," he replied, his eyes shining with unshed tears.
In that moment, their connection transcended the boundaries of time and space. They were not simply three beings on a houseboat; they were three souls entwined, each a vital thread in the tapestry of their shared existence.
As the hour drew to a close, they knew that their morning tea on the deck had been more than just a ritual. It had been a celebration of life, of love, and of the unconventional path they had chosen to walk together.
Their journey was far from over, and they knew that challenges would arise along the way. But they faced the future with a newfound strength, knowing that their love was a force of nature that could weather any storm.
With hearts full of gratitude and souls alight with magic, they embraced each other one final time before parting ways for the day. As they went their separate paths, the sense of serenity they had found that morning remained with them, a guiding light through whatever lay ahead.
And so, the houseboat sailed on, carrying within its walls the echoes of laughter, the warmth of love, and the whispers of a morning filled with serenity.

**Chapter 5: A Love Woven in Time**
*Beginning*
The sun rose high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the houseboat as the trio basked in the peaceful morning. They cherished this quiet moment together, knowing that their time in the river's embrace was drawing to a close.
Quaraun, sitting on the deck with his legs crossed, had a wooden loom in front of him. The loom was not grand or ornate, but it held within its simple frame the potential to create something truly magical. With every thread he wove, he poured his love and memories into the tapestry.
BoomFuzzy and GhoulSpawn sat on either side of Quaraun, their gazes fixed on the loom as if they could see the tapestry forming before their eyes. They knew that Quaraun's weaving was no ordinary craft; it was an art of love and storytelling.
As Quaraun's nimble fingers moved gracefully, the tapestry took shape. It was a tapestry of their journey together, of the adventures they had embarked upon and the magical moments they had shared. Each thread was a memory woven into the fabric of time.
BoomFuzzy and GhoulSpawn, sensing the deep emotions emanating from Quaraun, added their own touch to the tapestry. BoomFuzzy sprinkled stardust on the threads, infusing them with the essence of the cosmos. GhoulSpawn, with a gentle touch, summoned the shimmering lights of the river to dance across the fabric.
The tapestry began to come alive with magic, and the trio could feel the energy pulsating through the threads. It was not just a piece of fabric; it was a living testament to their love, a snapshot of the life they had built together.
The morning wore on, and the tapestry grew more intricate with each passing moment. Quaraun's heart swelled with pride and affection as he saw the story of their love take shape before them. It was a love woven in time, a love that defied conventions and embraced the unconventional.
As they worked, memories flooded their minds—laughter under starlit skies, the warmth of the fire on a chilly night, the gentle touch of hands as they held each other close. Each memory was a thread in the tapestry, a thread that bound their hearts together in an unbreakable bond.
Finally, as the sun reached its zenith, the tapestry was complete. It depicted the beauty of their journey—the highs and the lows, the challenges and the triumphs. It was a masterpiece that held within it the essence of their love.
With the tapestry finished, they sat back to admire their creation. The fabric glimmered with an ethereal light, as if the magic infused within it was eager to burst forth into the world.
"It's beautiful," GhoulSpawn whispered, his voice tinged with awe.
BoomFuzzy smiled, a tear glistening in his eye. "It truly is."
Quaraun, though not one to boast, could not help but feel a sense of pride in his work. "It's not just a tapestry," he said softly. "It's a testament to our love, to the life we've built together."
As they gazed at the tapestry, they saw not just a reflection of their journey, but also a promise of the future. It was a reminder that their love was timeless, that it would endure through the ages.
With the morning drawing to a close, they carefully rolled up the tapestry, knowing that it was a treasure to be cherished. They would keep it safe, a tangible reminder of the love they shared and the magic they had woven into their lives.
As the houseboat sailed on, the tapestry remained a symbol of their unconventional, extraordinary love. They knew that their journey together was far from over, and that there were many more adventures to be had. But in that moment, they were content, knowing that they had each other—a love woven in time.

No, 702 words is fine. It does not have to be exactly 700 words. A few words more or less is fine, as we will be editing this first draft later, so the word counts will change once we do the edits later. Right now let's continue with writing up the first draft. We will worry about editing later.
You are now going to continue the story. Picking up where you left off in your last post, move on to the next scene of the outline.
Remember that the ENTIRE story is going to be 5,000 words long, and the ENTIRE story takes place in the space of just one hour of Quaraun's life.
Remember, you are NOT writing the entire story in this post. You are JUST writing a section of one scene from the story.
Remember this is NOT a novel, so there are NO PLOT and there are no subplots either. This is character driven and should emphasize character emotions and show a slice of their life together.
Do not forget that this is a Slice of Life short story about Quaraun spending an hour drinking tea on deck of a houseboat.
Now, I want you to act as a ghostwriter. You are a highly skilled writer of Fantasy and Magical Realism stories. Please reference all the previous posts in this discussion about the story "Morning Serenity" You are now going to help me write the story titled "Morning Serenity"
We are going to take the outline you wrote previously, and use it to write the story "Morning Serenity". Don't forget to check back to the post with the full outline in it, so that you know where the story will go in the next scene after this one.
I am going to give you one section of the outline, and you are going to write just that one part of the story. You are not to write the entire story.
Continue from where you left off.
Note that Chapter 5 is the last chapter of the story and so loose ends should be tied up in this chapter.
I want you to take this part of the outline and write a 700 word scene of the story:
"
**Chapter 5: A Love Woven in Time**
*Middle*
- The tapestry becomes a symbol of their love and the beautiful moments they've shared.
- They reminisce about their adventures and express their hopes and dreams for the future.
- The tapestry's magic allows them to relive their favorite memories together.
"
This is just one scene from the story. It is not the entire story. Do not write the entire story. Only write this one scene for the story. I will give you more instructions for writing other scenes of the same story, later. For now we are just going to focus on only this one scene of the story.
We will start the end of Chapter 5 in the next post. The next post after this one will be the end of the story, so this scene should be leading up to that.
ChatGPT's answer:
**Chapter 5: A Love Woven in Time**
*Middle*
The tapestry now hung on the walls of the houseboat, a majestic centerpiece that captured the essence of their journey together. As they sat around the tapestry, it became a focal point for their reflections and expressions of love.
GhoulSpawn gazed at the tapestry, his eyes tracing the intricate patterns and colors. "It's amazing how every thread tells a story," he mused. "It's like looking into the depths of time."
BoomFuzzy nodded in agreement. "Indeed. It holds within it the essence of our love, our adventures, and the magical moments we've shared."
Quaraun smiled, his heart warmed by the sight of the tapestry. "It's a reminder of how far we've come and the beautiful life we've built together."
As they reminisced, they shared stories of their adventures—their encounters with mystical creatures, their battles against dark forces, and the moments of laughter and joy that had brought them closer together. Each memory was a precious gem, woven into the tapestry of their love.
They spoke of their hopes and dreams for the future, envisioning more magical journeys and a life filled with love and unity. The houseboat was their sanctuary, a place where they could be themselves, free from the judgments of the world outside.
The tapestry seemed to come alive as they spoke, its magic allowing them to relive their favorite memories together. They laughed at the antics of their past selves and shed tears of joy at the depth of their love.
"It's as if the tapestry holds the very essence of our souls," GhoulSpawn said, his voice filled with wonder.
Quaraun nodded. "Indeed. It is a reflection of our hearts and the unbreakable bond we share."
BoomFuzzy placed a hand on Quaraun's shoulder, his eyes brimming with affection. "And it's a testament to the power of love, how it can weave together the most extraordinary lives."
In that moment, surrounded by the magic of the tapestry and the love that bound them together, the trio felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. They were grateful for each other—for the unique qualities and strengths they brought to the relationship, for the love that had grown and flourished despite the odds.
As the sun began its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the houseboat, they knew that their time together was drawing to a close. But they were not saddened by it; instead, they embraced the present, cherishing every moment they had left.
The tapestry became a beacon of hope, a symbol of their unconventional, extraordinary love. It was a reminder that their journey together was far from over, and that the magic they had created in their lives would continue to guide them on new adventures.
With the river's gentle current carrying them forward, they held each other close, their hearts intertwined with the tapestry that adorned their home. The houseboat sailed on, and they knew that no matter where their journey led them, they had each other—a love woven in time.

ChatGPT's answer:
**Chapter 5: A Love Woven in Time**
*End*
The day had been filled with magic and love, and as the sun began its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the tranquil river, the trio found themselves back on the deck of their houseboat. They sat together in a comfortable embrace, their hearts full and their spirits light.
GhoulSpawn leaned against Quaraun, his head resting on the Elf's shoulder, while BoomFuzzy held Quaraun's hand in his. They watched in awe as the colors of the sunset painted the sky, creating a breathtaking canvas of pink, orange, and purple.
"It's beautiful," GhoulSpawn whispered, his voice filled with wonder.
Quaraun smiled, pressing a gentle kiss on GhoulSpawn's forehead. "As beautiful as the love we share."
BoomFuzzy wrapped his arms around both Quaraun and GhoulSpawn, pulling them closer. "I am grateful for every moment we spend together," he said softly. "You both bring so much joy and love into my life."
The trio sat in silence for a while, the only sound being the gentle lapping of the river against the houseboat. In this moment, they felt the weight of time and the preciousness of their connection.
"We are bound together by more than just love," Quaraun said, his voice filled with a sense of reverence. "Our souls are intertwined, woven in time."
GhoulSpawn nodded. "I believe that we were destined to find each other, to share this journey together."
BoomFuzzy chuckled softly. "And what a journey it has been."
They reminisced about their adventures, the challenges they had faced, and the love that had always seen them through. They laughed and shed tears, grateful for every experience that had brought them closer together.
As the last rays of the setting sun painted the world in shades of gold, they looked into each other's eyes, their hearts brimming with love and affection.
"We promise to always be here for each other," GhoulSpawn said, his voice steady and full of determination.
BoomFuzzy nodded. "Through thick and thin, in joy and sorrow, we stand together."
Quaraun placed a hand on each of his companions' hearts, feeling their love and devotion. "I love you both, more than words can express. You are my heart, my soul, my everything."
"And we love you just as much," BoomFuzzy said, his eyes shining with love.
GhoulSpawn smiled, his heart swelling with happiness. "Always and forever."
With the sun now dipped below the horizon, darkness blanketed the world, but the light of their love burned bright. They retreated to the cozy interior of the houseboat, where they fell asleep in each other's arms, feeling the warmth of their love enveloping them like a protective cocoon.
As the night wore on, the houseboat drifted gently down the river, cradling its precious cargo—the throuple who had found solace, love, and magic in each other's arms. They knew that their love was not bound by time or space; it was eternal, woven into the very fabric of their beings.
And so, as the night passed into morning, the houseboat sailed on, carrying with it the stories of their love—a love that would continue to grow, to evolve, and to weave new adventures in the tapestry of their lives.

(Word count: 713 words)
All right, I'm back. It's now August 5, 2023, 11:18PM.
I was so tired last time, that I just stopped and went to bed and did not comment on what ChatGPT had written.
Now, you can see what it does, with the who BLATENT REFUSAL to write ONLY a scene, and instead attempting t write a full beginning, middle, and end of an entire story every sing scene. THIS is why ChatGPT at this point in time, is completely useless for making long form ANYTHINg fiction or non-fiction. It is programed to write 4,00 "tokens" at a time (which is 700 to 900 words, usually). Tokens are OpenAI lingo for characters or letters. In other words, ChatGPT can type upto 4,000 characters/letters/spaces per answer. However, it also is programed to write in a very specific question and answer session, "essay style" conversation, so, it always gives a complete full answer/story each response.
Well, if you want to write lots of 900 word flash fiction or non-fiction blog posts with ChatGPT, great, it is very, good at that. But if you wanted to write a five thousand word story, you need at least 7 prompts of 900 word answers each to get that 5,000 story, but THEN after that, you have o shave off the opening and closing paragraph of EACH 900 word response, because it goes through the whole intro/conclusion rigamarole every time even when you instruct it bot to.
But if you want to write a 50k word novella, you need AT LEAST 55, yes fifty-five, prompts of 900 word answers each to get ChatGPT to give you that 50k word first draft... and then you lose well over 10k words of that because you have to cut the intro/conclusion of each response.
And then, on top of that, you have to spend days piecing the scenes together, then rewriting then for cohesiveness.
To write a 100k word full sized novel with ChatGPT requires a minimum of 112 prompts worth of 900 word scenes.
So, in order to get a novel, you first have to write one hundred and twelve prompts, those prompts each being 500+ words long. It actually takes more work and more time, to write a novel with ChatGPT due to the amount of prompt writing before and editing after ChatGPT writes the first draft.
Is it worth it in the end?
Eh? Maybe? I suppose it depends upon your goals as a writer.
For me, I think that ChatGPT is useful for generating settings, plot ideas, and outlines, buuuut... I don't feel it is very good at first drafts, yet. And I say yet, because, I started testing out AI programs in 2019 and back than they ALL sucked big time. In fall of 2022 OpenAI still sucked bigtime, but was starting to improve. February 2023, there was a big improvement, and May 2023 suddenly we are seeing that, yeah, novels are a possibility with AI now, IF you are willing to put in the effort to do heavy duty editing, and treat what AI gives you as a rough first draft that needs a lot of revisions.
If you are someone who loves editing and revising drafts, then having ChatGPT write your first drafts for you, then you spend time editing and revising it into something publishable might in fact be good for you.
If you hate editing and want someone to ghost write for you, and just want to have your ideas written up by someone else, then ChatGPT is not going to work for you, not yet at least. Maybe in a later release it will, but it's not there right now.
Will I use it?
Eh. Maybe.
The first drafts ChatGPT spits out ARE very good quality, in comparison to what the average slush pile reader has to slog through. A good 99% of the drafts agents and publishers have tp shift through are crap that couldn't even reach up high enough to scrap ChatGPT's boots, and that's a scary thought.
Does that mean ChatGPT is good? No. I can write leaps and bounds better then ChatGPT can, and there are plenty of good writers who can write way better then me.
ChatGPT is good. Yes, ChatGPT is better then 90% of unpublished writers. But ChatGPT still has a long ways to go before it is writing on par with high quality, actually good published authors.
That said, I am someone who love editing, rewriting, and revising, so, I do enjoy letting ChatGPT spit out a first draft and letting me run wild editing it.
And with that said... let's more on and see how ChatGPT is at editing.
The Prompt 1:
I need you to be an editor now.
This is a scene from a story.
"
As the sun began to rise over the tranquil river, the houseboat gently swayed with the soft current. Quaraun, the silk weaver Moon Elf, found himself drawn to the deck, a cup of warm tea in hand, savoring the magical hues of the dawn. Amaranth, lavender, mauve, and blush pink danced on the water's surface, creating a delicate tapestry of colors. The landscape transformed subtly as the day began, setting a peaceful tone for the morning.
The houseboat floated on moonlight, an enchanting sight that fascinated Quaraun each day. He relished the serenity of the river, embracing the gentle lapping of the water as he embarked on his daily morning ritual. The sight of graceful swans gliding across the river's surface added to the ethereal atmosphere, as if the creatures themselves were part of a dream.

I want you to edit this scene. Your goal is to flesh it out, expanding this scene to be 700 words long. You will do that by adding more descriptive details of what is seen, heard, felt, and smelt, by the characters.
You are not to change the story.
We are going to edit the entire story this way. The first draft is already written, and your job is simply to flesh out each scene by filling it with vivid narrative details.
Do not change the story plot. Do not progress the story forward. I will give you the next section of the story later.
You are only to edit this scene, to give it more words, by filling it with vivid sensory details.
After you finish revising this scene, could you also please make suggestions, for how I could further edit it in ways that can be improved upon?
Do you see any spelling or grammar errors which need fixing? (Remember that I use Canadian/Scottish spelling and grammar, which is more like British/UK spelling and grammar, and less like American spelling and grammar. Please make spelling and grammar corrections for UK rules.
Also, are there any places where I can change passive voice to active voice?
Can you look for words like was/were/like/that/very/seems/seemed and make suggestions on how and when I should replace them to improve reader immersion?
Also, if you find any slow/passive/sticky/glue words/phrases, can you please point those out and suggest changes which will improve flow, pacing, action, and immersion for the reader?
Also, I like gerunds, especially when placed early in the sentence. My use of gerunds is a personal style thing, that may not always be matching of perfect grammar, but I just like how such sentences sound when spoken out loud, and I read my books to make the audio editions, so enjoying the act of speaking these sentences is important to me. With that in mind, are there any places where the sentences in this paragraph can be reworded to include more gerunds, especially introductory placement gerunds?
In the Quaraun series alliteration is used as a style choice. Can you suggest some places in this scene where I could add 3 to 5 word alliteration phrases?
Please also offer any additional editing advice you think I could use to improve this scene and make it an even better reading experience for my readers. Thank you!
ChatGPT's answer:
As the sun began to rise over the tranquil river, the houseboat gently swayed with the soft current, cradling Quaraun, the silk weaver Moon Elf, in its embrace. He found himself drawn to the deck, a cup of warm, aromatic tea in hand, savoring the magical hues of the dawn that painted the sky in a symphony of amaranth, lavender, mauve, and blush pink. The colors danced on the water's surface, creating a delicate tapestry of shimmering reflections.
The landscape transformed subtly as the day began, setting a peaceful tone for the morning. The air carried a hint of freshness, as if it had been bathed in the morning dew. The gentle breeze rustled through Quaraun's silver hair, bringing with it the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers from the riverbank. It was a scent he had grown to associate with the tranquility of this place.
The houseboat seemed to float on moonlight, an enchanting sight that fascinated Quaraun each day. He marveled at the play of light and shadows, the way the sun's rays painted the deck with a golden glow. The soft creaking of the wood beneath his feet added to the ethereal atmosphere, like a lullaby whispered by the river.
He relished the serenity of the river, embracing the gentle lapping of the water against the sides of the boat as he embarked on his daily morning ritual. The sight of graceful swans gliding across the river's surface added to the ethereal atmosphere, as if the creatures themselves were part of a dream. Their long necks dipped gracefully into the water, leaving ripples that mirrored the colors of the sky.
The first rays of the sun cast a warm glow over Quaraun's face, and he closed his eyes, allowing the caress of the morning light to wash over him. He felt a deep sense of peace and connection to the world around him. In this moment, time seemed to stand still, and all that existed was the beauty of the dawn.
The sounds of nature surrounded him—the soft chirping of birds as they greeted the day, the distant call of a lonely loon, and the gentle rustling of leaves in the nearby forest. The river whispered secrets to him, tales of ancient times and forgotten realms, and he listened with rapt attention, feeling as if he was a part of something much greater than himself.
As the morning light grew stronger, it revealed the intricate details of the houseboat's deck—a pattern of delicate vines and flowers that had been lovingly carved by BoomFuzzy's skilled hands. Quaraun traced his fingers along the carvings, feeling the smoothness of the wood under his touch.
The gentle lapping of the water against the hull of the houseboat created a soothing rhythm, like a heartbeat that synchronized with Quaraun's own. He took a sip of his tea, relishing the warmth that spread through him, both from the tea and from the love that enveloped him on this magical morning.
In this moment, Quaraun felt truly alive, connected to the world and to the two beings who had become his heart and soul. They were his home, his sanctuary, and the river seemed to know it too, embracing the houseboat in its gentle current as it carried them on a journey of love and discovery.

Suggestions for further editing:
1. Consider adding more descriptive details about the appearance of the houseboat and its surroundings to further immerse the reader in the scene.
2. Use active voice where possible. For example, instead of "The landscape transformed subtly," consider "The landscape underwent a subtle transformation."
3. Replace passive voice with active voice. For instance, instead of "The houseboat seemed to float on moonlight," try "The houseboat floated on moonlight."
4. Reduce the use of words like "was," "were," and "that" to create more dynamic sentences. For example, change "The air carried a hint of freshness" to "The air carried a fresh hint."
5. Replace adverbs like "soft" and "gentle" with more specific and evocative descriptors, where appropriate. For example, change "The soft creaking of the wood" to "The wood creaked like a gentle lullaby."
6. Consider rewording some sentences to include gerunds in introductory positions, enhancing the flow and rhythm of the prose.
7. Add alliteration phrases where they fit naturally and contribute to the whimsical tone of the scene.
8. Expand on Quaraun's emotional response to the beauty of the sunrise and the river to deepen his connection to the setting and the reader's emotional experience.
By incorporating these editing suggestions, the scene can be enriched with vivid sensory details, making it a more immersive and captivating reading experience for your audience.
The Prompt 2:
Thank you! That was very helpful. I will be able to make many improvements with the suggestions you gave me.
Here is the next scene of the story. Can you help me with this one as well?
I need you to be an editor now.
This is a scene from a story.
"
Inside the houseboat, BoomFuzzy, the blind chef Phooka, prepared an assortment of delicate pastries and scones, lightly seasoned avocado salad, and his famous sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart. GhoulSpawn, the environmentalist hippy quantum physicist Sheep-Demon, set the table, his vibrant orange and yellow caftans billowing like the summer breeze. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, a harmonious blend of fragrances that filled the space.
"I love you to the moon and back," Quaraun said, a phrase they often said to each other. The words reflected the depth of their feelings, a love that transcended time and space.
"This river is like a tapestry woven from moonlight and dreams," Quaraun mused as he watched the fluffy clouds forming interesting shapes overhead. He snuggled deeper into a warm, plush woolen blanket, the gentle texture of dewy grass beneath his feet.

ChatGPT's answer:
Inside the houseboat, BoomFuzzy, the blind chef Phooka, was a flurry of graceful movements as he prepared an exquisite assortment of delicate pastries and scones. The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling harmoniously with the enticing scent of lightly seasoned avocado salad. The kitchen was a symphony of colors and flavors, a culinary masterpiece in progress.
Meanwhile, GhoulSpawn, the environmentalist hippy quantum physicist Sheep-Demon, set the table with a gentle precision that matched his peaceful aura. His vibrant orange and yellow caftans billowed like the soft summer breeze that brushed against the curtains, bringing in the sweet scent of blooming wildflowers from the meadows nearby.
As the sun's rays streamed through the windows, Quaraun sat at the table, mesmerized by the play of light and shadow on the wood. The warm, morning glow wrapped around him like a soft embrace, creating a sense of comfort and tranquility. He reached out to touch the table, feeling the smoothness of the polished surface beneath his fingers.
"I love you to the moon and back," Quaraun said, his voice a gentle murmur that carried the weight of their shared history. It was a phrase they often said to each other, an unspoken promise of everlasting devotion. The words reflected the depth of their feelings, a love that transcended time and space.
BoomFuzzy smiled, his sensitive ears catching the genuine affection in Quaraun's voice. He continued to work his culinary magic, the clinking of pots and pans adding a cheerful melody to the air. He loved cooking for his companions, knowing that each dish he prepared was a gift of love.
GhoulSpawn glanced at Quaraun, his eyes twinkling with warmth. "This river is like a tapestry woven from moonlight and dreams," he said, his voice carrying the wonder of a child seeing the world for the first time. He too was captivated by the beauty of their surroundings, finding inspiration in the simplest of things.
Quaraun nodded in agreement, his gaze drifting to the window. Fluffy clouds adorned the sky like brushstrokes on a canvas, forming interesting shapes that sparked his imagination. He snuggled deeper into a warm, plush woolen blanket, the gentle texture of dewy grass beneath his feet grounding him in the present moment.
BoomFuzzy's caramelized onion and goat cheese tart emerged from the oven, its golden crust glistening with a mouthwatering glaze. The scent of sweet caramelized onions filled the kitchen, infusing the space with a comforting aroma that made Quaraun's mouth water in anticipation.
GhoulSpawn added the finishing touches to the table, placing delicate porcelain plates adorned with intricate floral patterns. The table setting was a work of art in itself, a testament to his attention to detail and his desire to create a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.
As the trio gathered around the table, the room was filled with laughter and joy. They shared stories of their past adventures, of the magical places they had visited and the people they had met along the way. Each memory was a thread that wove them together, strengthening the bond that held them close.
Quaraun savored the first bite of BoomFuzzy's sweet caramelized onion and goat cheese tart, the flavors exploding on his tongue like a burst of stardust. The combination of creamy goat cheese and perfectly caramelized onions was a symphony of taste, a dance of flavors that left him craving more.
The morning sunlight bathed the room in a warm glow, and the houseboat seemed to hum with contentment, as if it too was basking in the love and camaraderie of its occupants. The tapestry of their lives was woven with love, friendship, and the shared joy of being together.
---
Suggestions for further editing:
1. Expand on BoomFuzzy's culinary creations, describing the colors, textures, and flavors of the dishes in more detail.
2. Elaborate on GhoulSpawn's outfit and the way his caftans billow in the breeze, making him a vibrant and eye-catching presence.
3. Use active voice where possible. For instance, change "The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air" to "The air filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread."
4. Replace passive voice with active voice. For example, change "The kitchen was a symphony of colors and flavors" to "The kitchen hummed with a symphony of colors and flavors."
5. Look for opportunities to use alliteration phrases, especially when describing BoomFuzzy's culinary creations or GhoulSpawn's colorful caftans.
6. Add more sensory details to immerse the reader in the scene, such as the taste, texture, and scent of the food, the feel of the woolen blanket, and the warmth of the morning sun.
7. Emphasize Quaraun's emotional response to the delicious food and the loving atmosphere, deepening the connection between the characters and the reader.
By incorporating these editing suggestions, the
scene can be enriched with vivid sensory details, making it a more immersive and delightful reading experience for your audience.
The Prompt 3:

"
BoomFuzzy skillfully flipped a savory omelet on the food truck's grill, his talons moving with grace and precision. The sounds of seagulls and crashing waves mixed with the gentle melodies of a lullaby, creating a soothing ambiance that enveloped the trio in tranquility.
"How wonderful it is to live in this floating tapestry of dreams," Quaraun whispered, his voice barely above a murmur. He reveled in the joy of sharing this enchanted houseboat with the ones he loved.
GhoulSpawn suggested adding lavender to a savory dish, an idea that BoomFuzzy gently declined with a playful wink. The trio often engaged in lighthearted debates over their culinary endeavors, but ultimately, BoomFuzzy's talent as a master chef prevailed, earning them a breakfast of heart-shaped pancakes.

The sounds of seagulls cawing and waves crashing against the shore mingled with the soft, melodious tunes of a lullaby, creating a harmonious symphony that enveloped the trio in a cocoon of tranquility.
Quaraun stood beside BoomFuzzy, his eyes sparkling with delight as he observed the culinary artistry in motion. The soft morning light painted a gentle glow on his pale skin, enhancing the ethereal aura that surrounded the silk weaver Moon Elf. He smiled, a serene expression that revealed the joy of sharing this enchanted houseboat with the ones he loved.
"How wonderful it is to live in this floating tapestry of dreams," Quaraun whispered, his voice barely above a murmur. The gentle swaying of the houseboat on the water added to the dreamlike quality of the moment, as if time itself were suspended in this idyllic haven.
GhoulSpawn, the environmentalist hippy quantum physicist Sheep-Demon, stood on the other side of BoomFuzzy, his keen eyes observing the culinary process with curiosity. He suggested adding a hint of lavender to the savory dish, an idea that BoomFuzzy met with a playful wink and a gentle shake of his head. The trio often engaged in lighthearted debates over their culinary endeavors, each bringing their unique perspective to the table. Despite their differing opinions, they found joy in the act of creating together, each contributing to the culinary symphony in their own way.
The seagulls glided gracefully overhead, their wings slicing through the air as they searched for tidbits of food. The ocean waves murmured in a soothing rhythm, a backdrop of calming white noise that added to the ambiance of the floating food sanctuary. The deck of the houseboat, adorned with intricate patterns of celestial motifs, was warm beneath their feet, its smooth surface inviting them to stay and savor the moment.
As BoomFuzzy's culinary masterpiece neared completion, the trio gathered around the food truck, their faces bathed in the golden glow of the rising sun. The heart-shaped pancakes were a delightful sight, each one a work of art that mirrored the love and care put into its creation. Quaraun's heart swelled with affection for his companions, the depth of their bond evident in the simple act of sharing a meal.
With a flourish, BoomFuzzy presented the platter of heart-shaped pancakes, their golden surfaces adorned with a delicate drizzle of maple syrup. The smell of sweet, fluffy pancakes mingled with the aroma of the ocean, a blend of scents that heightened the sensory experience. GhoulSpawn's eyes lit up in anticipation as he reached for a pancake, the excitement of tasting BoomFuzzy's culinary creation evident in his eager movements.
As they savored each delectable bite, their laughter and conversation filled the air, adding to the symphony of sounds that accompanied their meal. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the three of them in this enchanted bubble of love and companionship.

The food truck was not just a means of sustenance, but a vessel that carried them to distant lands, revealing the world's cultural tapestry, and unraveling the threads of new experiences and cherished memories.
GhoulSpawn, with his passionate spirit, wore a tie-dye shirt adorned with an array of colors that mirrored the blossoming flowers. His fingers drummed playfully on the table, the rhythm a reflection of his boundless energy and curiosity. He glanced at Quaraun, the Moon Elf's silver hair cascading like a moonlit waterfall, as they exchanged knowing smiles.
Quaraun, in his flowing silk robes adorned with starlit patterns, radiated an otherworldly aura. His hands, adorned with delicate silver rings, caressed the intricate carvings on the table, tracing patterns that only he could discern.
BoomFuzzy, the jovial Phooka chef, moved gracefully around the food truck, his talons orchestrating the culinary symphony. The sizzle of vegetables on the grill harmonized with the sound of the waves, creating a sensory melody that delighted their senses.
As the trio savored the delectable flavors of BoomFuzzy's culinary creations, they reveled in the experience of shared joy and friendship. Each bite was a revelation, an explosion of taste that took them on a journey through flavors and cultures.
The sun, like a brilliant artist, painted the sky with hues of orange, pink, and gold as it prepared to bid the day farewell. The trio sat in awe, the kaleidoscope of colors mirrored in their eyes, as they witnessed the celestial masterpiece above.
Time seemed to slow, wrapped in the cocoon of their love and camaraderie. In the distance, a lone seagull soared gracefully against the backdrop of the setting sun, a symbol of freedom and unity.
As the day's canvas transformed into a canvas of stars, the trio remained at the table, basking in the glow of twilight. The world around them dimmed, but their love burned brighter, eternal and unyielding.

The story took place in the late morning of early autumn, with the chilly morning air carrying a slight fog over the river. It was a season of change and reflection, the perfect time for the trio to bask in the warmth of their love.
"I think we should harness the river's magic to create an enchanted garden," GhoulSpawn suggested, his eyes bright with enthusiasm. "Imagine the wonders we could create."

ChatGPT's answer:
The story unfolded in the late morning of early autumn, a season of transition and introspection. The chilly morning air carried a delicate veil of fog over the serene river, adding an enchanting touch to the already magical landscape. The trio, cocooned in the warmth of their love, found themselves drawn to the tranquil setting, where the soft murmur of the river seemed to echo the whispers of their souls.
GhoulSpawn, the environmentalist hippy quantum physicist Sheep-Demon, was brimming with enthusiasm as he shared his vision for the day. "I think we should harness the river's magic to create an enchanted garden," he suggested, his eyes shining like stars. "Imagine the wonders we could bring to life with a touch of nature's essence."
Quaraun, the silk weaver Moon Elf, smiled, his heart touched by GhoulSpawn's fervor and reverence for the natural world. "Indeed, my friend," he replied, his voice a gentle melody. "The possibilities are as boundless as the tapestries I weave, each thread a thread of life's rich tapestry."
BoomFuzzy, the blind chef Phooka, chimed in with his usual wisdom, his voice a symphony of warmth and comfort. "Ah, young GhoulSpawn, but like roses, a garden requires gentle care, much like cooking a perfect soufflé. Patience and love are the key ingredients."
The river, a timeless witness to their conversations, gently caressed the shore with its silvery ripples, as if in agreement with their plans. The sun, now risen higher in the sky, cast a golden glow on the water, creating a dance of light and shadow that captivated the trio's senses.
Around them, the riverbanks were adorned with colorful autumn foliage, the leaves painted in hues of red, orange, and gold, as if nature itself had embarked on an artistic journey. The scent of damp earth mingled with the faint fragrance of wildflowers, an olfactory symphony that invigorated the senses.
GhoulSpawn's eyes sparkled with a sense of wonder as he envisioned the garden coming to life. The concept of merging nature's magic with their own was an exciting prospect, one that tugged at the core of his adventurous spirit. He imagined sprouting blossoms, ivy-covered archways, and hidden alcoves filled with secrets waiting to be discovered.
Quaraun's fingers, adorned with intricate silver rings, caressed the silk of his robes as he contemplated GhoulSpawn's proposal. He was eager to weave together the threads of the river's essence, intertwining it with their own magic to create something both ethereal and tangible—a sanctuary of dreams that could be touched, tasted, and experienced.
BoomFuzzy, with his innate culinary expertise, envisioned a garden infused with the essence of his culinary creations. He could almost taste the sweetness of caramelized onion and goat cheese tart mingling with the fragrance of blooming roses. The idea of blending nature's bounty with his gastronomic artistry thrilled him to the very core.
As the morning sun continued its celestial journey, the trio immersed themselves in the reverie of their plans. They exchanged ideas, each contributing their unique talents and perspectives to the tapestry of creation. The river, like a wise elder, flowed quietly nearby, as if offering its blessing to their endeavors.
With hearts alight and spirits united, the trio set forth on their enchanting quest—to weave a garden that would not only bloom in the soil but also in the hearts of those who beheld its wonders. A garden born of love, nurtured by dreams, and woven with the fabric of time itself.

Their playful banter was a testament to the deep understanding they held for each other's quirks and passions. Like a symphony of wit and affection, they danced through the day, each member of the trio harmonizing with the others, creating a beautiful melody of friendship and love.
As the day unfolded, the trio continued their leisurely exploration of the beach, their footsteps leaving imprints on the soft sand. Each step was a celebration of the world around them, as if they were imprinting their own mark on the canvas of life. Seashells, worn smooth by the rhythmic tides, peeked from beneath the sand, and the gentle murmur of the waves provided a soothing backdrop to their wanderings.
Every now and then, they stumbled upon peculiar clues—seagulls that seemed to be whispering secrets in the wind or patterns in the sand that resembled cryptic messages from the universe. They reveled in the enchanting mysteries of the world, always eager to embrace new challenges and puzzles.
The beach, a colorful tapestry of life's treasures, offered encounters with a delightful array of characters. A friendly beachcomber with a treasure trove of stories to share, an elderly couple holding hands as they watched the horizon, and a playful group of children building sandcastles—all were part of the charming cast that graced their day.
Among the mystical occurrences were the mesmerizing dance of butterflies around vibrant blossoms, the iridescent hues of seashells glistening in the sunlight, and the ethereal call of a distant seagull that echoed like a forgotten melody from the past.
The story they lived didn't feature grand quests or epic battles. Instead, it reveled in the beauty of everyday moments—of shared laughter, heartwarming meals, brushing each other's hair, and supporting one another in their passions and dreams.
They didn't seek external validation or societal approval. Their bond was built on the foundation of love, acceptance, and the unwavering knowledge that they were exactly where they were meant to be—with each other.
As the sun descended towards the horizon, painting the sky with hues of gold and amber, the trio found a quiet spot on the beach to watch the celestial spectacle. The warmth of the sand cradled them as they sat together, their eyes drawn to the breathtaking canvas of the evening sky.
GhoulSpawn, in his characteristic exuberance, pointed out constellations, weaving stories of mythical creatures and ancient tales. Quaraun listened with rapt attention, captivated by GhoulSpawn's vivid storytelling. BoomFuzzy, with his culinary expertise, had prepared a light picnic of fresh fruits, pastries, and a flask of warm, fragrant tea.
As they nibbled on delectable treats, a sense of contentment settled over them. The gentle lapping of the waves, the whisper of the evening breeze, and the soft embrace of the sand created an atmosphere of peace and serenity.
In the twilight hours, as the stars began to twinkle in the darkening sky, the trio huddled together, their hearts beating as one. They were bound not only by their love for each other but also by their shared understanding of life's mysteries and its many wonders.
With each passing moment, the trio embraced the beauty of the present, finding harmony and unity in unconventional ways. Their journey was not one of seeking external accolades, but an exploration of their souls and the connection they shared—a connection woven in time and etched into the very fabric of the universe.

ChatGPT's answer:
As the golden rays of the setting sun painted the sky with hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the tranquil river, the trio retreated to the sanctuary of their houseboat. The soft creaking of the boat echoed the gentle lullaby of the river, creating a soothing melody that wrapped around them like a comforting embrace.
Inside the houseboat, the atmosphere was imbued with the aroma of freshly brewed tea and the lingering sweetness of the pastries they had enjoyed earlier. The scent of lavender and vanilla hung in the air, a reminder of the fragrant fields they had passed during their wanderings.
Quaraun, GhoulSpawn, and BoomFuzzy settled into the plush cushions of the deck, the fabric like a cloud beneath their fingertips. They gazed out at the river, still enchanted by the ever-changing colors of the water as the sun dipped lower on the horizon.
The river was their constant companion, a steadfast witness to their journey through life. Its gentle currents seemed to mirror the ebb and flow of their own emotions and experiences. Quaraun thought of the river as a timeless tapestry, weaving together the threads of their lives with its own magical currents.
As the day drew to a close, they found solace in each other's presence, basking in the warmth of their love and the magic of their unique dynamic. The love they shared was a rare and precious gift, one that had blossomed through trials and triumphs, each experience binding them closer together.
With the setting sun as their backdrop, they spoke of dreams and aspirations, of the adventures they hoped to undertake in the days to come. Their voices were soft, like the murmur of the river, as they shared their deepest desires and fears, knowing they could rely on each other for unwavering support.
Outside, the night came alive with the twinkling of stars, a celestial dance that mirrored the joy in their hearts. The soft glow of fairy lights adorned the deck, casting a dreamlike ambiance over their haven.
The moments of laughter and shared memories lingered in the air, like fireflies illuminating the darkness. Each memory was a beacon, guiding them through the labyrinth of life, reminding them of the strength they found in each other.
In this tranquil haven, they found the courage to be their true selves, to embrace their quirks and passions without reservation. It was a sanctuary of love, where acceptance was a natural instinct, and judgment held no place.
As the evening deepened, they cocooned themselves in the warmth of blankets, a tender gesture of love and comfort. The river's lullaby continued, accompanied by the distant chirping of crickets—a symphony of nature that serenaded them in the embrace of night.
The world beyond the houseboat seemed to fade away, leaving only the three souls entwined in an eternal embrace. They were bound by a love that transcended time and space, their hearts connected across the vast expanse of the universe.
Amidst the tranquility, they knew that no matter where life's currents might carry them, they would always find their way back to each other. They were three unique beings, woven together in the grand tapestry of existence, their love a shimmering thread that glistened with the promise of eternity.
As the night deepened and stars shone like diamonds in the ink-black sky, they closed their eyes, each heart beating in sync with the others. They embraced the serenity of the moment, knowing that tomorrow would bring new adventures, new joys, and new wonders.
In this timeless haven, they were content. They had found home in each other's hearts, and their love was a sanctuary that would stand strong against the tides of time. The tapestry of their lives was woven with threads of love, acceptance, and the irreplaceable magic of their bond.
In the quiet embrace of the night, they fell asleep, knowing that their love was eternal, woven in the very fabric of time itself.

Back on July 24, 2023 I contemplated on the topic of how we as writers, you, me, and all other writers, could embrace ChatGPT as an assistant to help us improve our writing careers, instead of looking to ChatGPT as our enemy.
Later that same week, I decided to interview ChatGPT to see what "author advice" it would give me.
Now, we have a whole series of question and answer sessions with ChatGPT.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
This page contains sections written by an LLM AI, specifically OpenAI's ChatGPT 3.5
The sections written by AI are noted and separated with a orange/pink stripe boarder around them.
Sections written by AI has not been fact checked and may contain inaccuracies. They are included for entertainment purposes only. The goal here is to show you what AIs like ChatGPT are capable of doing and as such the AI sections are directly copy/pasted into this page without any edits, changes, or fact checking done, so that you can see what AI output looks like.
The goal of this page is to show you how to write long, detailed command prompts that will get ChatGPT to output less generic and more useful content for you. Please remember, when using AI for your own content that AI is a random generator that guesses what word should logically come next and is NOT actually giving you correct answers to your questions as it has no ability to comprehend word meanings; and as such LLM AIs have a very high rate of fact inaccuracies, often outputting incorrect and inaccurate information at a rate as high as 64% to 73% in 8 times out of every 10 answers, which has been proven by numerous studies.
As of July 2023, there are currently more then 300 LLM AI apps and programs available with varying degrees of outputting informational accuray. As of July 2023, MOST of those has an accuracy rate of only 2% to 3%.
I choose to use ChatGPT for this article, because it has the highest rate of NOT giving inaccurate information, of any AI language model currently available, however it's inaccuracy rate is still higher then 50% inaccurate output more then 50% of the time, HOWEVER, as the June 2023 Stanford and Berkeley studies have shown, ChatGPT is only fully accurate 2.4% of the time, and this 2.4% is the MOST accurate AI rate out there as of July 2023.
The fact that ChatGPT is only 100% accurate 2.4% of the time and it is the MOST accurate of ANY of the AIs currently available, shows how very alarmingly INACCURATE any output from AI is and why you SHOULD NOT be using it for research or anything requiring factual information. Please keep this in mind when using AI programs in your own writing.
If you choose to use LLM AI's such as ChatGPT for your content, please remember that t is NOT a research program, it is NOT a search engine, and 88 times out of 10 it is going to give you as much as 75% inaccurate information. DO NOT use LLM AIs to create your content, unless you plan on doing huge amounts of fact checking and actual research to ensure that the content you publish is accurate.

Evil men go out of their way to try to drive a person to suicide.
Are you an evil man?
Are you sure you're not?
How many people have YOUR hate filled words killed?
Next time you go to do a mean thing to a fellow human, stop and really think about the consequences of your actions.
Did you ever notice how every one has a story to tell about me, yet not one of them ever speaks the truth?
What lies has YOUR gossiping tongue spread about me?
Did you know...
October 16, 2006, bomb blew up my house because of YOUR lies.
August 8, 2013, the house which replaced the one the bomb blew up, was driven over by a backhoe.
November 14, 2013, my 8 month old infant son was murdered because of your lies.
November 14, 2013, I was beaten up, paralized for 5 months, spent 18 weeks relearning to walk, I'm now crippled for the rest of my life, because of YOUR lies.
Are you proud of what you have done?
Enjoy your eternity in Hell. You earned it. You've certainly worked hard for it.
